Idaho vs San Diego Prediction

I’ll stick with Idaho. The Vandals are coming off a pretty routine win versus an overmatched Whitman College in their last outing, shooting a smooth 55 percent from the field in the 94-49 victory at home. Idaho went 12-of-25 (48 percent) from outside and 16-of-18 from the free throw line as well. The 52-22 rebounding advantage and 40-12 edge on points in the paint helped immensely as well—not to mention the 25 team assists. The Vandals’ 16 turnovers were just about the only thing to complain about, and at least some of those can be attributed to garbage time. In any case, Idaho is looking pretty good through two games so far. They’ve scored a combined 177 points in that pair and also have a nice road win over Washington State under their collective belt.

Provided the Vandals can keep their offense humming in Wednesday’s matchup, San Diego is going to have a tough time sticking to the pace for the whole game. I like Idaho to control this one and ultimately pull off the cover in the end.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Idaho Vandals +2.5
